<TITLE>03. Par 11-15</TITLE>L-11 And so in Romans the 8th chapter and the 1st verse, we want to consider this just for a little while. Romans 8 and 1.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Now, our heavenly Father, we pray now that You will get our minds centered on the Spirit of God, and may He lead us, not knowing what to say, but Thou will provide the Word.
And I pray that You'll lead us to a--a great meeting, Lord, where the Seed of God will fall deep into the heart of every person, the unsaved be saved, and the sinner, backslider be called back to God again and the sick be healed, for this we ask in Christ's Name. Amen.
Led by the Spirit of God. Do you believe that men of God are led by the Spirit of God? That's right.
Now, Paul speaking here to the Romans, said "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. Now, that walk not after... If you're in Christ Jesus, then you walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit."

L-12 Now, you know it's a--it's a dangerous thing when we go to think that many times that Christians who are filled with the Holy Spirit will still walk after the flesh. Did you know that? They'll do it.
And then the Holy Spirit gets away from them, as we've been saying. I... You see people sometimes, someone raise up and speak in tongues which will be God and maybe someone say, "Glory to God, I can do that too." That's flesh. See?
You have to be led by the Spirit. See? And I was just telling the other day while Brother Jack and I were out visiting a--a Lutheran seminary, and they were asking about these Divine gifts. And I told them how I did it at my church. I see it many times, that I feel that full Gospel people who believe in those gifts... Not only that, but there's many Baptist churches, and many of them speak with tongues. Certainly.

L-13 Charles Fuller has speaking in tongues at Long Beach, but he--and interpretation, spoke of it on the radio just recently telling them about how they spoke in tongues and interpreted. Said but if there wasn't no interpreter, why, it was the flesh; but said if any one spoke they all kept real quiet, so and see what the interpretation is.
Now, here's the way we did it at--at home when I received the Holy Spirit, seen these things was for the Church. We found if somebody spoke in tongues, then if there was no interpreter, we had them to keep, hold their peace. That's right. They're not supposed to speak in public like that.

L-14 But then when they become an interpreter, someone could interpret... Now, we didn't want just a bunch of foolishness. We had to be genuine. So we had all those people to meet, all the gifted people, those who had revelations, those who had the word of prophecy, and those who had the interpretation, and speaking of tongues, and they gathered at the church about a hour before the church ever started.
They come in for their own ministry, and they set in the church, kept quiet, and the Lord would speak a message. Now, before that message could be received and give to the church, there had to be three there with the spirit of discernment. And two of that three had to witness it was of God.

L-15 If it wasn't, they never even counted it at all. But now it couldn't be a quoting of Scripture or... 'cause God told us not to use vain repetition. It had to be some message directed to some person in the church, or it wasn't received.
Then, say for instance like this: Somebody would raise up and say, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, tonight at the service there'll be a lady come in with her bandage around her head. She was in an automobile accident five years ago, and she can't be healed, and they're bringing her from a certain place. Have Brother So-and-so as soon as she comes in (They'll be coming from Michigan.) to lay his hands upon her, for THUS SAITH THE LORD she's going to be healed."
